What's interesting is that The Game Business had already reported the TiMi links on February 12th. The Gamefile headline, being "secretly funded", is where the public conspiracy angle seems to come from.
The "fully funded" element is similar - originally said back in 2022 when they were founded.
"I'm a voice actor and I can't imagine ever being so entitled as to complain about my character's looks and demand the developers alter it to MY specifications. Peak narcissism. She should have "held off on posting" permanently."

(Just leave the Hinterlands asap and return later! Thatβll make sense in context of DA:I π )
Inquisition is usually cheap as chips, is available to play on most modern hardware, is the better game in almost every way and Veilguard is better for having played it imo
If you enjoy it, then hopping straight to Veilguard OR returning to Origins are both options.
Veilguard is fine in isolation, but in so many ways itβs been built to exist as a part of a pair with DA:I, as well as a finale for the series as it stands. Relatively major arcs would come across a lot flatter as they rely on travelling with returning cast in DA:I for it duration to humanise them
I really enjoyed it, its merits certainly outweighed some clear and bittersweet flaws. I would however actively recommend it never be someoneβs first foray into that world.
While as a fan Iβd love to recommend starting at the beginning, Iβd say start with Inquisition if you want to try Veilguard
His legacy will live on, not just the successes: Medal of Honor, Call of Duty, Modern Warfare, Titanfall, (EA) Star Wars: Jedi, Apex Legends & Battlefield (Studios era); but also everything those projects laid the groundwork for and ultimately will inspire.
RIP Vince Zampella.
Truly tragic news to hear about Vince. Itβs hard to overstate how positive an influence he and his team managed to be over the past couple decades, in spite of being right in the middle of the βAAAβ machine. His passion for game dev always felt clear & present

Pretty sure Geoff only still does The Game Awards as an excuse to produce new Muppets content, and for that, he's a hero.

Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:
Bonus: the core crew of Milo Ventimiglia, Michael Rooker, Frankie Adams & John Eric Bentley, along with a scenery chewing turn from Kiernan Shipka were an entertaining group to listen to, even if it was all very standard military action cheese. Adamsβ 50/50 particularly was underserved in a fun role
Yet despite my own meandering thoughts? As with the lingering feeling that most of the narrative was in lead David Masonβs mind? If potentially nothing was real, Iβm left feeling at a lossβ¦ are there going to be answers to lingering questions via Endgame updates? If not, what was the point?
On its own merits, viewed as what it is, not what many expected, itβs an entertaining few hours leading into the next of CoDβs continued attempts to build an extraction gameβ¦ letβs just hope this time they actually build upon it.
After DMZ, Outbreak, MWZ and now this, itβs the least barebones
Direct comparisons to prior single player experiences in the series of course fare terribly for BO7. Especially if you attempt to compare features. This is much closer to an evolution of MWiiβs Raids, another flawed-with-potential experiment.
lack of in-game vs pre-vis cutscenes particularly irks
A choice that for me? Mostly worked. As a silly, psychedelic co-op romp I had fun. Boss battles - something the series has experimented with of late - were (imo) suitably absurd.
Actually having multiplayer operators all (I think?) exist as characters from the narrative is a positive change too.
Unlike with the prior βexpand-aloneβ that Activision released two years ago as MWiii, I didnβt find BO7 a functionally unfinished feeling, incoherently-written mess, tho there is plenty to criticise.
Having the entire narrative (potentially) be one extended hallucination was⦠a choice.
I haveβ¦ a lot of mixed thoughts on Black Ops 7βs non-Zombies narrative, i.e. the Co-op missions that set the stage for the PvE Extraction shooter.
Iβm intentional not calling it the single player, or the campaign, even the game itself forgoes that, clearly noting itβs βCo-op Campaignβ, a first?
"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk
